PowerWells address the dual global problems of electronic waste and energy poverty by repurposing lithium-ion batteries from e-waste into home solar systems with lights which are deployed to regions without access to electricity.  

Within Australia, li-ion battery waste grows at over 20% p.a. but only 2% is recycled - CSIRO.

Globally, roughly 800 million people don’t have access to electricity - World Bank.

PowerWells recovers lithium-ion batteries from old electronics in e-waste, and uses them to build home solar-energy systems, which are deployed to countries and communities that do not have access to electricity and non-polluting lighting.

PowerWells also run workshops with Corporates and Schools that give participants hands on experience with building the home solar units and power-banks with lights while learning about sustainably recycling  e-waste and repurposing batteries to help address energy poverty.

PowerWells Foundation is an ACNC registered charity with DGR 1 status from the ATO meaning all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
